Thanks for the feedback, I guess I will pull out the hack saw, unfortunately there are no notches on the bolts

: Sounds like the nuts are about tight enough. You sure don't want to overdo it and break the toilet. Just cut the bolts off above the nut. You don't have to get too finite, the cap will cover a fair amount. After a few days use, check the tightness again because the toilet will likely seat a little more into the ring.
